Happy Birthday Guruji

Good Morning!
In a dayHours 24In the hourMinutes 60In the minuteSeconds 60In the secondMilliseconds…In the millisecond,The moment.Make each moment special.It is a choice.You are gifted With 86400000 milliseconds ToSmile sweetly,Sing soulfully, Serve selflessly, Seek sanctity,Speak softly.Stay special.Let go the ordinary.Just today,Choose special.Good Morning.
Realise
Our time is limited,Our past can’t be edited,Our future isn’t alwaysWishfully scripted.Figures in banks and Figures in the mirror,Represent nothing but Impermanence, mere.Niether saves us,From an earthquake sudden-All dreams and domes crash,Beauties mutilate,Money doesn’t reach Beneath the debris.All great and small here-Lie buried, breathlessUnder one tremor,So unexpected, so sheer.
No revisits
Revisiting wounds,Recalling memories,Brings regrets.More often than not,The mind whines,The heart pines.Unstick the mind,From that spot.Un-tether the heart,From that rot.There’s limited time,That you’ve got.Look forward,Look upward,Choose to move beyond,Remind yourself,Everything is temporaryOn Life’s playground.
The Quality of the Prayer
Is it Thankful? Desperate? Earnest? Complaining?Tearful?Mindful?Surrendering?Neutral?Soulful?Heavy?Light?Radiant?Peaceful?What is the qualityOf the prayer?
Worth
The only thing,Worth having is laughter,Have a laugh.The only thing, Worth keeping is fitness,Keep healthy.The only thing,Worth losing is worry,Lose your worries,May you never find them.The only thing worthGiving up is fear,Let it go…Live in hope.Make your day Good!
Tongue twister fun!
The best
Daily connect with the best version of yourself.Meditate and go deep within the ocean of your energy and find the pearl of wisdom and wit.Meditate and reach out to the highest potential of yourself and conduct yourself with grit and dignity.Meditate and maintain your balance and your best,Forego, forget the rest.Be here and now.
Dark coffee, light moments
Not all days are a sunny carrot-orange. On such days, Coffee with cream Fixes the heart that is too full And has to stop feeling, And the mind is too still, And has to start thinking. On such pale days, I prefer coffee with cream. The aroma and the warmth Quietly work their way ThroughContinue reading “Dark coffee, light moments”

Good Morning, Good Day!
As you seek your purpose,May your path be clear.As you seek your health,May the healer be here.As you seek more wisdom,May the preacher reach near.May all that you seek,Seek you too.May you have a day full of mutual moments.
As if
Be present now.As if No future awaits.Learn new now.As if No second chance avails.Smile and laugh nowAs ifNo joy forever stays.Accept others nowAs ifNo one meets again.Calmly breathe in nowAs ifNo guarantee Of the next breath prevails.Live now,Love now,Let go now.

Nothing is truer
Nothing is truerNothing is truer,Than the truthThat we stop ourselvesFrom doing more And doing better.Nothing is truer,Than the truthThat we fear Our own light,Our own power.Nothing is truerThan the truthThat we think smallAnd dream smaller,And do the smallest.Nothing is truerThan the truthThat we abandonedA great idea within,For fear of failure,And gave up,Instead of taking AContinue reading “Nothing is truer”
Into November
Into November,We stumble,October’s over End of 2022’s in sight,So let’s reflect onThe wishes we lostSaying, I ‘may’ and ‘might’.Let’s make up our mind,Life doesn’t comeWith a button to rewind,To yourself do remind,Don’t mull too long,Write your story,Hum your song.
Overcoming hesitation
Say it,Feel the release.Hesitation is good,It guides us instinctively,We think well,We ‘maybe’ and ‘could’.But, don’t let an ideaOriginal and creative,Be lost, left unsaid.Today, reflect quietly,Reframe, reword If you may,But let it out- Just say!
Round the corner
You may feel low,You may have had a blow,But dwell in hope,You’ll surely cope,Just round the corner,There’s dawn again and light,There’s sweet delight.Diwali’s the highlight.Declutter and decorate,Goodness let’s opt forEach and everyday, Kindness let’s celebrate.In each and every way.Diwali is a festivalOf lighting diyas,To drive away darkness,Not just of the Amaavas,But also the despairAnd focusContinue reading “Round the corner”

Understanding Surrender
The usual understanding of surrender is feeling desperate, feeling helpless and giving up, and turning to a higher/superior power for resolution/help/ support/miracle.To a great extent, this understanding of surrender is true for all of us.But one can go deeper and understand that real and total surrender are at a different level.After putting in every possibleContinue reading “Understanding Surrender”

For some of us
For some of usFrom this day, today,This world will never be The same again.A few words unsaid,A few tears unshed,Will forever remain.For some of us now on,A hollow feeling,An emptiness,A sense of loss,A long, quiet silence,Will forever remain.This world will never be The same again.To those ‘some of us’Whose hearts have broken,I say, let usContinue reading “For some of us”
Make today awesome
Today,in all you do,Add a little bit Of glitter,Add a little bit Of glamour,Add a little bit Of grit.In every act today,Be the hand of God,And however mundane Be your task,It’s upto you To add a little zestAnd make better or best.Life is a short trip,Whatever you do,Do it whole heartedly,Like an act of worship.
What matters
What someone said, hurt.It mattered, it hurt.Its over.Focus not what they said,But how you felt.How you feel determines your emotional well being.So choose to be emotionally resilient by being flexible. Everytime you hurt, make a conscious move to come out of that experience. You may start singing or reading a joke and laughing or simplyContinue reading “What matters”
Adieu, Dear Queen
Seventy yearsOf Queening,Through The terrific,The tumultuous, And the tragic.Choosing GraceAnd trusting God,She rose to the call of duty,An epitome of eleganceWho redefined monarchy.May her soul rest In eternal peace,As we bid adieu,And deeply condole Her kith and kin,How do we get used to,Of Great Britain, Sans the Queen?
Have a better day than yesterday!
Choose well.Choose Silence not arguing.Choose Hope not worrying.Choose Activities not idling.ChooseLearning not lazing.Choose better,Right now,Not later! Choose better today
